In second place: Illegal Kosmonavtika, to be presented in Tbilisi, Georgia
Submitted by: Magda Guruli, Mariam Natroshvili
Through workshops, a zine, and artworks, this project resurrects and examines Soviet Cosmonautics for the generations that came of age after its decline in 1991.

In third place:Guis Sou Me Le Mbao (I Do Not See You at Mbao), to be presented in Thiaroye, Senegal
Submitted by: Claude Gomis, Saskia Koebschall

In fourth place: “Bad-ass” Kurdish “Warrior-Divas,” to be presented in Berlin, Germany
Submitted by: Shawna Vesco and Anne Wheeler
This exhibition troubles the glamorization of the all-women factions of freedom fighters battling ISIS in Iraq and Syria, by examining feminism within the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party).
